A member asked:
My dentist has informed me that the radiation killed most of the cells around the gum. do cells regenerate after time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May or may not: This depends upon many factors such as total dose, type of cell, type of radiation, age of individual stage of cell division, part of body exposed, general state of health, tissue volume exposed, time interval over which dose is received. The doctors actually treating you would be better able to give you an accurate appraisal.
